Europe must be prepare for war on its doorstep, British military chiefs warned Thursday as they detailed an unprecedented level of threat against the U.K.’s armed forces.
Speaking at the launch of a new British Military Intelligence Service (MIS) Defense Minister Al Carns said the “shadow of war is knocking on Europe’s door” and warned NATO allies must be ready to respond.
Europe is not facing “wars of choice” anymore but “wars of necessity” which will come with a high human cost, Carns argued, citing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as an example.
Hostile intelligence activity against British military personnel and property has risen by more than 50 percent over the last year, mainly coming from Iran, China and Russia, Chief of Defense Intelligence Adrian Bird revealed at the same launch event at Royal Air Force Wyton.
The RAF base in Cambridgeshire, in the east of England, will house the new unified intelligence service, and is already home to Pathfinder — the largest “five eyes” intelligence hub in the world.
MIS will bring together units from the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force in a bid to speed up information sharing, as recommended by this year’s Strategic Defense Review (SDR).
It will also host a new “Defence Counter-Intelligence Unit,” designed to protect the armed forces and their equipment and systems from foreign interference.
Personnel at Wyton will monitor a wide range of data from satellite imagery and drone-recorded video footage, as well as information gathered by agents in the field.
Following a recent damning report into Britain’s preparedness for war by the U.K. House of Commons Defense Committee, Carns argued that revamping military intelligence will help ensure “that our deterrence is absolutely foolproof.”
Carns stressed the need to convince the British public of the seriousness of the threats posed by hostile states. Ministers need to “make sure the population recognize that those threats overseas have direct impacts to their way of living, their cost of living, food prices, fuel prices, and government spending as a whole,” he said.
His warnings echo those issued by NATO boss Mark Rutte, who said during a speech in Berlin on Thursday: “Russia has brought war back to Europe, and we must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents and great grandparents endured.”
Senior figures overseeing the British launch admit they face a shortfall in recruiting people to intelligence roles.
Minister for Veterans Louise Sandher-Jones told reporters: “We know over the past few years that [recruitment] has not gone in the direction that we wanted, and it’s definitely very much a mission for us to turn that around.”

They need to volunteer, draw arms and try to steal Russia themselves. That includes the generals, who’ll be so far behind the front it’ll be like they’re not even in the army.
its the usual psyop buildup…poster boy heroes (Carns) & public celebs spouting patriotic comic book bollox (Holland/Murray WW2 HQ)
…ready for conscription
hmm..aint working tho
The Bwitish Chihuahua barks… the world moves on.. 🙄
The Putintards/conservatards still haven’t figured out that both NATO & BRICS are ruled by the same transnational Commie cult of Jew central bankers pretending to be ‘enemies’ to dialectically advance their global WEF/UN Agenda 2030 techno-Communist goals & setup prearranged wars to liquidate white males.
UK migrant crisis branded a ‘national emergency’ as public frustration reaches breaking point

Politicians admit multicultuturalism a total failure
since 1935 we have been deluged with migrants#
public demand they be sent home
“Russia has brought war back to Europe”…..it’s not Russia that brought it back, it was NATO and the ‘intelligence’ services of the U.S., U.K., and Mossad. They wanted war, not Russia, which is busy defending itself from NATO and Western pressure to its borders.
load of rubbish. can they distinguish between a TMO and declaration of war? can they read? Putin has consistently said he does not want to fight nato. why would he want to invade eu or uk with their economic and illegal migrant problems? this is all to do with starting an unnecessary ww3 so that the eu and uk can default on their debt obligations, kill 100k’s of thousand young christian men. if these leaders want war then all parliamentarians with their of age children step up to the plate and lead from from the front.
It’s not just the British people and NHS doctors who have had enough of this appalling government as the Met Police announce they’ll strike on New Year’s Eve. They’re making out it’s about pay but I suspect that to divert away from its real political causes it may be about unease over arresting Brits for social media comments and writing ‘I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action’ on placards after declaring that’s support for terrorism. If that is the cause then Starmer’s government would be unlikely to last long if it causes the first police strike in who knows how many years.

Putin please let rain your Oreshniks on decadent
perverted northeuropean warmongers capitals !
teach them a lesson that they for ever shut their
stupid mouth .
For centuries, Britain has been the driving force behind European wars. Until Britain is wiped off the map, there will never be peace in Europe.

root is the heavy class divided society since over
200 years . a false society of false moral standards
(childrens work in tretmills, coalmines, chimney
cleaners + other slave work, did not happen in
Kaiser germans times) in victorias times pomp +
crime + dirt + falseness has formed MI5+6 therefore
political result : PERFIDE ALBION . thats their politics .
I can’t wait to see these Poms getting their big mouths shut and the same as those EU wankers. Hail Russia, Hail Putin. F..k the JewK, F..k Jewrope, waste of time saying F..k Jewkraine, F..k Jewlensky as they’re F..ked and surrendering in droves.

The jabs, immediately followed by the contrived Ukraine situ, sending energy costs through the roof, leading to inflation and massive deindustrialization… Just to “sweeten the deal”, the EU is also about to start charging households for “carbon” (as in, you drive – you get punished; you heat your home – you get punished). Of course, the EU’s official policy priorities have long been 1) Climate; 2) Gender; 3) Migration.
So… Why not throw in direct “war” with Russia as well, just for good measure? Hey – whatever it takes to drag Europe back to the 16th century, where the total population of a few million hunkers down in the dark, sleeps among animals to keep warm, and eats wild roots for sustenance.
The Bible predicts that the living will envy the dead… I’d say we are 70% there.
